I work full-time but I make my own schedule and I can have dogs at my work. I also live just a few minutes away from my work and can pop back to my house when need be. I’m already taking care of our senior dog, our new puppy, and our two cats. I love being outside and taking the babies for walks.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard as well as two other dogs and two other cats. I have a large crate as well as two portable enclosures and no shortage of extra bowls, blankets, toys, and towels. I live in a great neighborhood and there is a park a block away. It’s important to me that animals are well taken care of and I love spending extra time playing and snuggling with any babies I get to hang out with.

Pet care experience

I’ve always had animals of my own, basically since I was old enough to walk. I started my own pet-sitting business when I was 13. I’m the go-to for friends and family when they need their babies cared for and I love every breed. I studied veterinary medicine for a number of years and have more recently begun to train dogs, as well.

Marissa has always shown my animals genuine love and compassion- form bathing and grooming to walking and medicine administration, she is gentle and loving. I always know my babies are safe with her and she treats them just like her won kids. She takes lots of pictures and is always ready to snuggle any animal. I would highly recommend her for care for your babies- they will be loved and safe and sound with her.
